Month: February 2018

For the last two years, we have organized an open house gathering for our friends, family and neighbors. It has proven to be a ton of fun! We’ve gotten to know our neighbors, mingle with friends, make new friends, talk chickens and gardening. Last year we had our plant sale and were able to recoup the cost of our purchased seeds. This April we plan to have our 3rd annual open house!

We are very excited, and have started our first batch of seeds earlier than ever this year, and it has been a resounding success! Most of the plants are thriving. For the first time, we will use many of our own seeds. That means we won’t have a lot of expenses to account for, so the sale will be donation based (pay what you can/want). The goal is to make sure everyone has fun and leaves with veggie starts.

We would prefer to take orders ahead of time, so I can plan better and offer more variety or desired plants. Last year, we ended up with a lot of spicy peppers, way more than we could put to use. Of the seeds we can offer, many were preserved by me. Most of the rest will be from Seed Savers Exchange, and maybe a couple of other, small seed houses, with unique offerings.
